Data analytics tools help you bring in data from various systems, sources and formats into a single tool for analysis; however, the output is only as good as the input. Data preparation is a critical step in the analysis process, one that can be time consuming without proper instruction and guidance.

Join us for a one-day, hands-on Data Quality Workshop where you will learn how to:

Whether you are new to IDEA, or need a refresher course, this workshop will help build your data preparation skills and prepare you for additional hands-on instruction offered in our IDEA Public Training courses.

Our expert instructor will walk you through the steps to import, cleanse, format and profile data to extract maximum value and deliver meaningful insights. Attendees will return to work with a better understanding of how to improve data quality, including testing the data for accuracy, timeliness, relevance and completeness.

Previous attendees of this workshop have said:

“This course has given me more ideas on how to look at the data when I first start to review it.”

“Great variety of examples, it really helped to get comfortable with a lot of the analysis functions.”
